Arsenal vs Brentford Live: EFL- ARS vs BRE- Arsenal on Wednesday beat Brighton to advance into the fourth round of EFL Cup. Arsenal took the lead early in the match. Reiss Nelson scored from Eddie Nketiah’s assist in the eighth minute. Though Mikel Arteta’s men dominated proceedings after that, they were unable to find another goal till half-time. Brentford had quite a few chances for themselves in the second half, but were unable to convert them. Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale produced some excellent save to deny Thomas Frank’s men any chance of comeback.
Mikel Arteta’s men showed some nerves in the second half which allowed Brentford to claw their way back into the game. Weisse and co. went rampant in the last 20 minutes, creating attacks from both side of the field. Arsenal looked shaky and Brighton captalised on the nervousness of a back four which hasn’t played with each other a lot.
The highlight of the second half came when Weisse launched a shot on ground which was moving towards the goal in blistering pace. However Ramsdale, who was benched by Arteta in favour of David Raya in the last three games, got down quickly. The England international was able to get something on the ball. The ball ricocheted off the post and was cleared by the Arsenal defence.
